Graduation Celebration

February 19, 2003

Dawn DeLong, a second grade teacher at Williams Bay Elementary School in Williams Bay, Wisconsin

I plan an end of the year play/graduation ceremony where kids need to make scenery, have costumes and memorize play parts. I think the parents really like it. I play Pomp and Circumstance on the tape recorder, kids march in wearing graduation mortar boards, and every child has a line in a graduation speech. It also helps me wind up the year on a positive note. It keeps them focused on a particular project and always comes off great!
